Inner Village Zones

Kumogakure is protected by a combination of impassable rock formations and sheer unclimbable cliff faces. The only access to and from the village is located within the Dragon Tooth Pass, where an opening was once blasted through stone in ancient times through means impossible to replicate today. This gap is now protected by the village gates, overseen by guard towers staffed with shinobi at all times. These men and women are constantly on alert for attempts at trespass or unlawful egress. This is the village gates! You must post here to enter or leave Kumogakure.

The center of all village administerial supremacy and policy. The tower itself is constructed from an intricately masoned onyx-like mineral harvested from Dragon Tooth Path, specifically designed to reflect the multitude of stars at night and to stand prominently against the blue skies during the day. The doors, ornate with with the chiseled pictorial history of Cloud, are always open to the many plights of the subjects it serves.

Towards the north eastern region of Kumogakure lies a district known as the Nimbus Delactatio. This region is known as such for its more natural resources and areas for the local population to enjoy. The more well known areas in the district are the Ancient Forest and the Nimbus Springs, yet there are more places than just these. A Greenhouse maintained by the local Yamanaka Clan sits on the outskirts of the forest, a central location amongst a botanical gardens. Several stone paths cross natural streams on the outskirts of the forest and a large grassy field also offer many uses to Kumogakurean's and visitors alike.

The Academy is a three story pagoda, well-maintained despite the many years of lesson-induced damage and climate-based degradation. It is located near man-fashioned forests on the cliff of one of Cloud's more majestic mountains. It has educated generations of loyal servants and all of Cloud's most famous leaders with its wide variety of classes ranging from basic training to the advanced techniques utilized by specialized ANBU squads. The Dojo Annex, recently re-opened to the entire shinobi population, was once built by a student, has since been expanded heavily to a high-quality training facility where shinobi can train, practice dueling, or run an obstacle courses with over a half-million different configurations.

The vividly opaque walls and sterile air obliterates all notions that the now advanced and universally respected Hospital was once a very morbid asylum that specialized with lost hikers of the Ancient Forest and their incurable insanity. The technology within the hustle of doctors and bustle of scantily clad nurses is nothing short of state of the art and many different fields of medical practice can be found, from the common cold to the corrective surgery necessary for nephrocoloptosis.

The pinnacle of cloud village engineering and usage of Lightning Country resources, the Grand Colosseum. A giant elliptical amphitheater, constructed using various stones, metals, and cement, capable of seating around 50,000 spectators. The Colosseum plays the stage to many type of events, shows, and entertainment, and the outside wall is home to many various shops relating to warfare, food fitness, souvenirs, theatre and training.
